LIP Samples

[TopSolid2007]

Hi...

Could any one share some lip samples with me? It would be great because I am trying to understand this application...

Hi,

What is your aim in using LIP ?
This langage does not provide so mush capabilities...

Maybe it'll be easier to use COM API...

Hi,

COM API isn't complete so you must use a combination of LIP and API for some functions.

Look at viewtopic.php?t=105 for an exemple.

Hello guys...

I am trying to make a command using LIP or API to make as follow

1. Create a offset curve with 12.5mm distance.
2. Divide the resultant curve in "n" segments
3. Extend all "n" segments the lenght of -30mm
4. Explode this curve
5. Create a circle with 23mm diameter on the begining of each segment.

I need make it several times per day. It would help me a lot if I could do all this operations just in one command.

Any tips?

How to execute the lob generated file by toplip?

[Pieter]

Hallo,

You can also just create a component.
Repeat the first circle, "on curve" in distribute mode, number = (n-1)
Make the curve and "n" driver, and put the circels in the assembly.

Takes 5 min., no need to write a program.

a late answer is also a good answer

to execute a .lob file you need to add a new menu entry in TopSolid.

1. go in your config-path (example: C:\Missler\config)
2. edit or create the file "topext.men" with a text-editor
3. add at the end in the "topext.men" a new menu entry:

Code: Select all

%your menu entry {

4. add your button in your menu entry:

Code: Select all

"your button" #0,11,0,1 = $TOPCONFIG/your path to your .lob/lobfilename ; 

the code "#0,11,0,1" is a icon code.
see viewtopic.php?t=56&highlight=icon

5. add the "close" of your menu entry:

Code: Select all

}

The complete code is:

Code: Select all

%your menu entry {
            "your button" #0,11,0,1 = $TOPCONFIG/your path to your .lob/lobfilename ;
}

Now you have a new menu entry in TopSolid.
Inside this menu entry is one command that start your .lob file.

The same entrys you can make in the left main toolbox
It is only possible to rewrite the complete toolbox:
1. copy the needed .icn from "C:\Missler\V6x\bin" to
"C:\Missler\Konfig\V6x"

Design - design.icn
Draft - draft.icn
Wood - wood.icn
...

2. Edit the copyed .icn . Don't delete original code. Only add your new entrys.
( After an update of TS check the original .icn for changes.)
